"I made half of the rub and roasted a chicken with it. It was nothing special, just ok."

"I used this to season my Thanksgiving turkey, and it added a very good flavor to the turkey without being overpowering. I omitted the allspice and curry, and reduced the paprika to 1/2 tsp. and the mustard to 1/4 tsp. If I make this again, I'll use just 1 tsp. of salt rather than a Tbsp. The turkey tasted just right, but the pan drippings made the gravy very salty."

"This seasoning was spectacular. I froze the leftover Turkey and used it in a soup. The flavor of the soup was wonderful. There was no need to use any additional spices in the soup."

"Duchess502, a turkey is usually roasted at 325 degrees. I think the recipe is saying to use a standard recipe for roasting a turkey {ie with more detailed instructions) but add the rub."

"I would avoid the curry and allspice. It' destroys the American taste of the turkey."

"This is outstanding. I added a quartered apple and onion inside and cooked it in a baking bag. It was moist and the most tasty turkey I have cooked."
